The race has a tremendous recent history with Flagship Uberalles, Best Mate, Edredon Bleu and Azertyuiop all featuring on the roll of honour. Champion Trainer Paul Nicholls looks to maintain his excellent start to the season with a fourth win of the prestigious prize, and his crack chaser Twist Magic heads the market with the sponsors as William Hill's 2-1 favourite. The triple Grade One winner will concede weight to the entire field, including 7-2 second-favourite Mahogany Blaze who will look to progress on some of his excellent novice form from last season for in-form trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies. Natal, a 1¾ runner-up to Twist Magic at Punchestown last time out will be partnered by promising conditional Nick Schofield, who takes a further 5lbs off the 10lbs he will receive from the Tingle Creek winner. The bookies make Natal the 9-2 third-favourite, with Howle Hill - winner of the valuable William Hill Handicap at Doncaster in February available at 5-1. Kate Miller, spokeswoman for William Hill, said: "This particular race has a fantastic history and it is testament to its place in the calendar that Paul Nicholls is fielding two of his top chasers for this year's renewal. Twist Magic looks the class of the race, with a trio of Grade Ones already on his CV, but this is no easy task and he attempts to concede weight all round. It should prove an intriguing betting contest and will also give some valuable clues for the season to come." |
